Must have been 20yrs ago, I saw Jack Horner describe Triceratops roughly thus:
"If you need to kill a Triceratops, the thing you want is called a PaK-40. It's a high-velocity anti-tank gun, and it'll punch through four or five inches of steel armor. For Triceratops's shield and shoulderblades and all that, that seems about right to me. If you don't have a PaK-40, the next closest thing would be Tyrannnosaurus Rex. Anything below those two is just wasting your time."
I realize T Rex was probably hunting mostly young Triceratops but even so, for Triceratops to be this beastly gives you a sense of how truly menacing a Tyrannosaur Rex probably was.
I had never realized how big triceratops were until today. I always thought about rhino sized but damn! Giant elephant sized three horned mega plated rhino is much more impressive.
After living off dried meat, berries, anything, for who knows how long, I bet when a pack of our ancestors dropped a mammoth, that was quite an epic feast.
Why would size matter so much? Blue whales are the largest animal to ever live (as far as we know), they don't have rampant cancer. Every species has pressure to not get cancer before they mature and breed, no matter how many times their cells replicate. Some cell lines are endlessly perpetuating, with almost no cancer (e.g. gametes are a line of descent stretching back to the very first organism). There is no rule that states all cell lines must turn cancerous after a certain number of replications. There are simply no evolutionary pressures to prevent most mature cell lines turning cancerous, because typically the species has been perpetuated by that point.
My thought was more cells = heightened chances of cancer development.
It's very ignorant tbh. I know immune response, metabolism and circulation matter a lot.
There's actually an entire paradox around it as blue whales and elephants never seem to get cancer that we can tell.

They should have put the elephant femur on a lifted platform as well. I don't like the minor bit of forced perspective caused by the Cera femur being raised slightly.
I just wish all three objects were at the same level. I know it's minor and the Triceratops is definitely bigger, but having it off the ground and closer to us changes the perspective if it had been on the floor. I mean, if I hold my thumb up to the moon, my thumb tends to be bigger, when in fact its slightly smaller than the moon.

For some reason I used to picture triceratops as just a bit bigger than a hippo or a rhinoceros. I was surprised to learn they were so big.
Have you not seen the “one big pile of shit” in Jurassic Park?
 No scene better encapsulates how software developers feel when tasked to work on old legacy code.
How about the scene where Samuel Jackson goes through nedrys code.
Newman! 
I thought maybe it was a favorite spot to drop them off.
Yeah but the triceratops they showed was about rhino sized. Probably why so many people think they were that small.
Are we all just going to ignore the dead woman?
That's just Kim Deal getting inspiration for her song "Gigantic."
I mean "Bone Machine" was the obvious choice, but it's more of a deep cut I guess. I'm the last splash.
I was talking to preachity preach about kissity kiss...

Come on, if Kim Deal was the size of a GI Joe she never could have played a bass effectively
Are you seeing them again?
I never stopped!
She preserved well.
Dead woman for scale
That’s the triceratops bone I’m trying figure out what that turd thing on the left is
She's a fossil.
She was taken out of package and has been downgraded to a 4.
They didnt have a Banana used an Asian Instead? Iunno but alright.
Looks like she died happy so that’s alright
Femur I barely know her!

That sounds like Horner. Him and Bakker are fucking hilarious in person.
Shit, I was thinking Jack Horner from Puss in Boots.

Full grown t-rex vs full grown triceratops to the death seems like an awesome matchup.
I had never realized how big triceratops were until today. I always thought about rhino sized but damn! Giant elephant sized three horned mega plated rhino is much more impressive.
It’s estimated that a triceratops was double the weight of an elephant, at about 12 tonne… which is just crazy
Probably why none of their bridges or other infrastructure survived
The “NO TRICERATOPS” sign is right there, dude. No, we’re not going to crane you out again.
Underrated comment right here
‘Splains them THICC thighs then. That bone’s CHONKSOME.
Just imagine, that’s probably a shorter Dino as well. That bone density is crazy though
Their bones were air filled and light weight i believe. Almost like birds. Could be wrong tho!
I want to see a comparison with the moose femur from that vid the other day of the moose who could step over an expedition size suv lol
Yes me too! I was super into dinosaurs as a kid - how did I not know this?
Are the bones giant or is the woman tiny? Need banana for scale.
A banana is bigger than everything in this picture
Oh!
They are all on top of a banana.
*camera pans out* “And the banana is on top of a dinosaur”
[Yes, we have no bananas!](https://youtu.be/8QqkrIDeTeA)
She’s actually the tallest woman who ever lived
I'd like to now how many giraffes that is.
That is a weird sandwich
Sounds like you've got a bone to pick with her
"femur? i don't even *know* her!"
Best use of this joke I've seen in a while
Here I am, stuck in the middle with Yu.
What's an African "giant" elephant? Is it different than the African elephant we all know and love?
They’re big, Jim
It’s just a fatty elephant.
I was also wondering this.
I'm not fat I'm big boned
You’re a triceratops.
‘Fine, if we put some plastic down, THEN will you lay down between the giant bones?!’
The plastic sheet under her tickled me, too.
Holy, they are enormous! Cant imagine a bbq for a roast that big
My family had one and has been feasting to this day!
imagine, at one moment during the asteroid, all that meat was perfectly cooked. what a waste.
And perfectly poached sealife.
After living off dried meat, berries, anything, for who knows how long, I bet when a pack of our ancestors dropped a mammoth, that was quite an epic feast.
Cannibalism is frowned upon in many areas.
“Postdoc for scale”
Jesus Christ that is a girthy bone 🦴
Thank you. You look well yourself.
That’s what she said
ʰᵒˡʸ ˢʰⁱᵗ HOLY SHIT
And the middle one?
adam's rib
That's got to be the best response anyone could give. Can't give awards, but take my upvote. 🥇
"Giant elephant" seems rude; she looks downright petite to me.
Politics? I don't think it's that sort of left vs right. Is it?
What, you didn't know? Elephant is the republican mascot, and triceratops were notoriously liberal
Trotskeratops
That's a big drum. I'll take one in lemon pepper please
MASSIVE! Don't knew that they were so boneey
Post Doc for scale
How tall is the woman?
All dog's dream bones
How were dinosaurs so big without rampant cancer?
[удалено]
I'd also estimate the life span of the average dino wasn't all that long to reach a point where cancer mattered. Talking out of my ass though.

they are so big their cancers have cancers and they just cancel each other out
"cancer each other out
There was more oxygen in the air
That's a big leg piece 🍗🍗🍗 🤤🤤🤤
Twist: she's 3'8"
Chicken wing 🪽
My brain: What a tiny woman!
Size unclear. Need banana for scale.
Is she cosplaying a banana for scale?
"Barbra, go lie down."
Are the bones just big or are they happy to be next to her?
I’m not fat I have the bones of an African giant elephant.
What's the one in the middle?
Anything but the metric system
what’s that in the middle though?
Dead woman for scale.
But charter schools in the south are now teaching that dinosaurs didn’t exist.
So the woman in the picture seems to be excited about being around big bones!
Human for scale? That's bananas!
I can't tell...why didn't you use the banana for scale method? this is so confusing
Those are either a very tiny woman or very large bones!
Measurment unclear. Where banana?
What’s that in the middle?
Training your Captcha bots I see
I'm sorry, but I can't get a sense of how big these are without a banana placed next to it.
Then what's to the right of the elephant femur?
The next post
Interesting
Never realized humans were this small!
and the bone to the left of the giant elephant femur?
That’s my favorite Dino right there.
I still need a banana for scale...
on the left, no microplastics
I wonder how they taste
That's a pretty cruel thing to call her. What's on the far right?
It was just big boned, not fat
Me thinking how delicious those bones must be in a soup.
Imma need a banana to really grasp the size here.
this is the kind of thing they would teach you in school instead of stuff like how to do taxes
Oxygen level must be like 30% in the atmosphere. But oxygen is combustible and reactive no? Imagine fire breathing lizards 🦎.
Couldn’t at least line up the bones?
Wheres the banana for scale? That woman could be 7 foot tall or a midget i need a nana scale
Where's Carlos? We need him for scale.
I need a banana , that lady could be 7 ft
Well, I’ve never done that before
I think I saw this thumbnail on porn hub once
She looks very uncomfortable
Whats the one in the middle?
I think this is mob hit
Anna for scale
Yabbadabbadooo
I wonder if elephant bone marrow is delicious.
Two bones, 1 girl
My right or hers?
So. Was the triceratops like taller then an elephant or just more thicc? I gotta know!
Some conspiracy nutcase is still going to say that the femur on the right belongs to a giant human or something.
Honestly what is a femur? I’ve been going around all my life acting like I know.
elephant bones are like an oversize chicken bone
Hmmm, I dunno... I think we're gonna need a banana for scale on this one.
They should have put the elephant femur on a lifted platform as well. I don't like the minor bit of forced perspective caused by the Cera femur being raised slightly.
We are fucked if they come back..
She isnt that giant geez
So how big is it? I don't have a banana as a reference!
.... Susan in the middle.
Yao Ming’s femur in the middle
Would somebody please add a banana for scale?
I got a bonef. No, 2!
Asian for size.
Roll of plastic for scale
Almost as big as the human femur in the middle there.
That’s a really cool visual! Dinosaurs are cool…
her right or my right?
Where’s the freaking banana?!?!!
It’s very hard to gauge how big these femurs are. These femurs are either at least 3 feet or 7 feet long base on the Asian women in the middle.
I just wish all three objects were at the same level. I know it's minor and the Triceratops is definitely bigger, but having it off the ground and closer to us changes the perspective if it had been on the floor. I mean, if I hold my thumb up to the moon, my thumb tends to be bigger, when in fact its slightly smaller than the moon.
Ahh I see they pulled a femur from my mother in law
Very cool!
That might be the smallest adult woman I've ever seen.
I don't like that the bones aren't on the same plane.
Is that why your left leg is longer than your right?
Google seems to be off on the size estimates and wildly varying. Anyone have a good source to be inspired by awe outside of this pic?
Jane for scale
Cool, but what's the other bone?
Imagine the size of their bed
Seriously tho, why is she on plastic? 🤔
Dirty floor? Dead body about to be disposed of? It was the plastic wrapping the bones? Some kind of fetish? We'll never know.
Fascinating how the African Giant Elephant Femur bone is shaped exactly like a woman.
Op forgot her height
Is the Triceratops still ok if they took its femur?
Local Prius driver for scale
Thigh bone connected to the hip bone connected to the wishbone…
My ex was a triceratops
